Description

A beautiful collection of songs, both sacred and secular, from the repertoire of this renowned children's choir. Voices of Light is the debut recording of Paul Halley’s Chorus Angelicus. A bountiful potpourri, this album highlights such favorites as Britten’s Missa Brevis, Halley’s Les Petits Troubadours, the classic spiritual Rock-A My Soul, and the luminous title cut, composed for Chorus Angelicus.

from The American Organist Magazine

"This batch of recordings reflects the enormous range of Paul Halley's interests and talents. Selections on Voices of Light range from the "seriously" classical to the unabashedly popular, with most of the latter arranged in simple unison or two-part settings for chorus and accompaniment. Impressive as a sampler of the youthful ensembles in various moods, the abrupt changes in compositional style - exemplified by "Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair" coming close upon the heels of Britten's "Agnus Dei" - will send some listeners searching for their "program" buttons. The lack of a text insert is unfortunate, too, especially in the case of Les Petits Troubadors de Dieu with its close interaction between voices and instruments. These flaws, in addition to other momentary lapses in intonation and vocal quality, will limit the appeal of this recording for the general collector." - Jennifer Kolmes
